Description

LatinX: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Latino/a Populations in the US. LatinX is a groundbreaking study that challenges traditional notions of identity and belonging. According to Claudia Milian, this concept encompasses not just nationality but also geography, ecology, and social realities that transcend our current understanding. By deploying the indeterminate "X" as intellectual armor, Milian's work invites us to question and speculate about the complexities of Latino/a experiences in the US. This book is part of a series of short books of thought-in-process scholarship, where intense analysis, questioning, and speculation take center stage. LatinX offers a powerful tool for navigating the unknowability of social realities that exceed our present knowledge.
